Kansas Legislature passed a Graduated Drivers Licensing plan aligning with 48 states. The bill requires a 12 month learner’s permit, restricts non sibling passengers for six months, limits late night driving to 9 pm unless commuting to work or school, and bans teen cell use until six months of restrictions end.
